John 6:66: Souls are by temptation shown
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Souls are by temptation shown
Jesus who awhile pursue;
Trials make them fully known.
Separate 'twixt the false and true:
Through Thy quick and powerful word.
Lord, Thou soundest every heart:
Then they feel the two-edged sword,
Then the hypocrites depart.
